Hi,
Can anyone please advise, do I need planning permission to fit a small pitched tiled canopy across the front of my detached house?

The canopy will project approximately 1mtr from the front of house elevation and be 5 mtr from the proterty boundary.
It will be supported off the brickwork by gallows type brackets.
I have looked on the gov-planning portal but can't find any info.
Thanks.
Dave B.

Dear Dave,

I apologise for just picking up on this but this is the first time I have visited this website and I am sure by now you have had your question answered. If your proposal doesn't create any usable space, then in my opinion you don't actually require permission for it.

Do I need planning to remove an existing external window and replace with French doors?

Dear Nadine,

If the property you live in is Listed or indeed within a Conservation Area where an Article 4 Direction applies, you may well have an issue. Otherwise, you won't require planning permission. You will however have an issue in respect of Building Regulations and this is something you must look into particularly if you are creating a larger opening.

we have just built a shed/garage wooden to fit in with landscape it is 19ftx 19ft6" and is under 3 metres high, it has no doors at present, i read loads before building it and thought it did not need planning, does it? it is 54" from house wall and well within boundry, how big can you build a shed in the uk without planning permission.
